Yo Booking – Appointment Booking and Scheduling System provides an intuitive and flexible solution for scheduling appointments on your WordPress website. Whether you’re running a salon, clinic, consultancy, or any service-based business, Yo Booking is designed to simplify the booking process for both administrators and clients.
Dashboard / Calendar
Gain full control of your appointment scheduling with a dynamic calendar interface. View and manage bookings in month, week, or day formats. Easily navigate, create, or edit appointments directly from the calendar. All bookings are color-coded and displayed with service, staff, and timing for a quick visual overview of your schedule.
Appointments
Manage all appointments from a centralized list view. Quickly update appointment statuses (Pending, Confirmed, Cancelled, etc.), edit details, or delete entries. You can also track customer notes, staff notes, and view linked service and staff information. Filtering and sorting options make it easy to handle high volumes of bookings efficiently.
Services
Create and manage your company’s service offerings. Organize services into categories, set custom durations, and optionally add descriptions. Assign services to specific staff members to control availability based on skillsets or roles. Services form the core of your scheduling system, giving clients clarity and admins control.
Staff members
Easily manage your entire team of service providers. Add new staff, group them by department or role, and assign services to match their expertise. Customize working hours for each staff member or apply business-wide hours. Each staff member can also have notes, profile images, and service schedules that reflect real availability.
Customers
Track and manage customers in one place. Each customer can be linked to a WordPress user account, and you can store their name, phone number (with international format), email address, notes, and history. View the number of total appointments they’ve made and their last appointment for better customer relationship management.
Notifications
Set up automated email notifications triggered by appointment status changes (e.g., confirmation, cancellation, reminder). Customize message templates using smart placeholders like {customer_name}, {appointment_time}, {service_name} and more. Notifications can be tailored for both administrators and customers to ensure everyone stays informed.
Block Insert / Shortcode
Add the Yo Booking form to any page or post using the included Gutenberg block or a simple shortcode [yo-booking]. This allows you to embed your booking system seamlessly into your site, providing a smooth user experience for clients booking online.
<h3>Privacy</h3>
Yo Booking stores appointment, service, staff, and customer data in the site’s local WordPress database. Customer data can include name, phone number, email address, appointment notes, and linked WordPress user ID when selected by an administrator.
The plugin sends booking notification emails through the site’s configured WordPress mail system. The free plugin does not contact an external geolocation API, product feed, CDN, or remote code service during normal operation. All JavaScript and CSS libraries used by the plugin are bundled locally.
<h3>Third-party Libraries</h3>
